Candian Pacific's 'The Dominion'

An early 1950s postcard of CPR's then premier passenger train The Dominion with what looks like an EMD E8 in front. The train first began as a summer service between Toronto and Vancouver, operating in 1931 and 1932. As from 23 June 1933 it replaced the Imperial as the CPR's main transcontinental service and included a Montreal – Sudbury (Ontario) section. It remained CPR's flagship train until the introduction of the stainless steel dome streamliner The Canadian (see earlier post) on 24 April 1955. The Dominion ceased in February 1966.
